Elon Musk got me to stop using Twitter.
What? They’re greedy humans who are doing things that have terrible consequences out of selfishness, not mustache twirling cartoon villains out to destroy the world for destruction’s sake. I’m sure every single billionaire in the world has done something good at some point.
All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one. Romans 3:12
You’re right. There’s no billionaire who has done good. But there’s also no human who has done good either.
Some sort of weird combination of “God and anime at my side” fundie weeb for that one, complete with a special level of pop nihilistic misanthropy that probably has Supply Side Jesus characteristics
Mark Cuban is a bit of a wall street asshole, but he’s created a drug company to slash the prices of generic drugs for Americans
Elon Musk. Without him, electric cars wouldn’t be the almost-mainstream thing they are today. We also would be a decade behind on space launch.
(WTF does “space launch” mean to that bazinga? Space was launched into generations ago. Unless this is some techbro hopium singularity babbling about THE MISSION ™ which will be forever vague because it’s just tweets from showing boomer highways on Mars)
Without him, electric cars wouldn’t be the almost-mainstream thing they are today.

I’ve got some bad news for you about Tesla
Do not buy a chinese car!!!
Chinese cars are pretty nice, actually. You should see them in person.
Yeah good thing there are no QC issues with Teslas or tax credits from the government for purchasing them.
I mean, it would be illegal for me to import a Chinese car to the US without importing enough for the NHTSA to destroy a bunch in testing, and also pay for all of the tests. Pretty cool how they keep out the competition like that.
Get a load of this bootlicker:
Can we as a society organize and innovate without billionaires? Even China changed their economy to make them possible.
Right now, writers are on strike. Hollywood workers could invest their time, make movies, and get paid afterwards. But instead, it takes people with money to do the funding.
How should big sums of money be managed? Bureaucrats work to a certain extend but hardly innovate. Which structure could ask a million people to invest a thousand dollars each and offer ethical profits?
This is funnier on Lemmygrad since the emoji in this comment take up 90% of the comments on this post

I could use my billions to buy legislators to enact Medicare for All, but then I wouldn’t profit, so why?
Didn’t one of the Koch brothers die? That was pretty cool.
Is Scrooge McDuck alright or does he get the wall too?
In the early Disney comics, Scrooge actively and directly exploited native peoples to loot their treasures, and they were portrayed as gross stereotypes. Not even anthropomorphic animal people. Just (slur) humans from Africa and the like.
Damn, I didn’t realize that. I guess he gets a public execution with the rest of them.
He has to do a high dive into his pool of gold coins but using real world physics instead of cartoon logic.

I was going to credit this but the creator’s reddit acc is now deleted and I didn’t remember their name. 😔 I’ll link the post at least https://old.reddit.com/r/DuckistInternational/comments/hngzh1/first_welcome_to_the_duckist_international_where/
Also while it seems maybe a bit sus Dickie is just the character’s actual name.
no more half measures walter
he has literal hills of gold coins doesn’t he?
True. I guess swimming in gold coins when other ducks around the world are starving is pretty excessive.
maybe yeah idk
I love being St Paul in the 1st century AD. I sure hope no one will take my letters to specific groups in Asia Minor and Europe as truths to be applied for the entire world
Did anyone mention the one exploding in a submarine?
The only good thing billionaires do is die

has posted some of the funniest tweets in history. The fact he’s only a billionaire because he says he is makes it even better.
rise and fall depending on how the rich feel that day, so why not?
This is such a ridiculous question. Everyone has done one good thing in their life.
It’s a wierd fundie-driven false equivalency that justifies every possible atrocity of the rich and powerful by saying no one is better than that.
What a ridiculous idea!
I HATE CHRISTIANITY I HATE CHRISTIANITY
Zuckerberg will have done something good when they finally let him kill Elon with his bare hands in the ring
“People Of Lemmy” aka Turbo-Redditors.
If any billionaire would actually did something good for once, they would rage at them doing that.
Sam Bankman Fried, he is in jail.
They’re all wrong
